It's ok to try tackling a big problem, as long as you know when pause for a while and come back to it later. What if Ramanujan had been told by Hardy to stay home and stop working on big things that he hadn't had sufficient experi

The main two reasons we wouldn't settle anything beyond Earth would be: 1. Lack of interest. 2. Lack of time. #1 is the biggest problem as far as we know right now. #2 is a problem only if we destroy our planet to the point where we ca
